This is the first national war since Keynes took the throne. He must win beautifully in order to shock the surrounding countries.
This is also an opportunity for Keynes to show his strength.
To this day, Keynes' name remains in the days of bounty hunters and several battles between the Sabaody Archipelago and the Restoration.
In the eyes of ordinary pirates and countries, these are still great, but in the eyes of real bigwigs, they are nothing at all.
Only by showing absolute strength at one time can the surrounding countries and pirates of the Caro Empire be feared, and they will never dare to attack again.
"Ding, Host triggers the mission of destroying the country."
Suddenly, the electronic sound of the system sounded.
"It was detected that the Balque Kingdom invaded the Caro Empire Kingdom. As a king, Host cannot tolerate such an invasion."
"Please completely destroy the incoming enemies and completely destroy the Balque Kingdom!"
"Task reward: one top Devil Fruit, and the strength of the 2,000 escort soldiers will be increased by one level."
Only the former will be useful to Keynes for this mission reward.
A top Devil Fruit can cultivate a powerful combat power, which cannot be measured by money.
As for the latter, it can only be said that it is so-so.
In the New World, where the national-level combat power is spread, the number of troops is not very useful.
I can only save some energy for Keynes when he starts a national war in the future. He has been training soldiers in the army just because of this.
In the future, if Keynes encounters the Four Emperors, even if he has a 100,000-strong army, he will be nothing more than cannon fodder.
......
Two days later, Keynes returned to the seas of the Karo Kingdom.
Before entering the kingdom, Keynes patrolled the surrounding waters, and the Observation Haki spread out, looking for suspicious ships.
call out!
A small black hole fell from the sky and hit a pirate ship that was riding the wind and waves with precision.
With a bang, a huge fireball exploded on the sea.
The entire pirate ship was engulfed by the fireball and vanished into ashes.
All the pirates were killed in an instant, with no bones left.
"I can only blame you for being so unlucky."
Keynes turned away and disappeared without a trace.
While patrolling the sea, Keynes did not find any traces of the warships of the Balque Kingdom, but he found three unknown pirate ships.
At a very moment, Keynes showed no mercy.
Rather kill the wrong, don't let it go!
Whether or not they were to approach the Kingdom of Caro Empire, they were Keynes' slaying targets.
And just like that, three pirate ships were destroyed by Keynes!
Hundreds of pirates died inexplicably, and they didn't even know who killed them. It was an unjust death.
...
Carlo Emperor Palace, Keynes and Badgers descended from the sky and landed in the Genting Sky Garden.
Enel, Cavendish and Randall have been waiting for a long time.
"Welcome to the return of His Majesty the King."
Randall half kneeled in salute.
"Get up."
Keynes waved to Randall, then looked at both Enel and Cavendish.
"how is the situation?"
"With God here, what else can a group of ants do? Naturally, they are all dead."
Enel grinned.
Randall also nodded, "Balk's warship has only been there once three days ago, and it hasn't appeared since the death of two thousand soldiers, so he should be afraid."
"Hmph, isn't that of course?"
With a rose in his hand, Cavendish said narcissistically: "With such a handsome uncle guarding this kingdom, no matter how many weak soldiers come, they will die."
"In other words, the Balque Kingdom has retreated."
Keynes smiled grimly. "Come if you want, leave if you want, that old guy Ryan is too naive."
The surname of the Balque royal family is Ryan.
The current King of Balk is Balk III, Ryan Hoffman, who is in his 40s and approaching 50 this year.
Of course, this age is not very old in the One Piece world.
"Badgers, you go to assemble the guards, and the 10,000 soldiers of the Kingdom's guards will set off immediately and rush to the Balque Kingdom."
Keynes indifferently ordered, "This battle will completely destroy the kingdom of Balque, and anyone who holds a weapon will be beheaded, and no one will be left alive!"
An icy killing intent emanated from Keynes, causing the air temperature to plummet.
Badgers, Cavendish, and Enel shuddered involuntarily.
"I know, I'll do it right away."
Badgers obeyed the order and exited the Genting Sky Garden.
"Randall, Cavendish, the two of you stay in the country and are responsible for protecting the security of the Carlo Empire during the war."
"Yes, Your Majesty the King."
Randall and Cavendish respectfully took the lead.
"Enel, you come with me."
Keynes walked to the balcony and looked in the direction of the distant Balque Kingdom, "This time, let the whole world know the power of the Karo Empire."
"You can kill as much as you want!"
"Ah, I see."
Enel grinned wildly, "I'll let mortals know that the power of God is unmatched!"
Even though Keynes took away his god position, Enel still regarded himself as a god.
He can't change this habit in his life.
Keynes didn't care either, as long as there was strength, it was nothing.
The king's order was issued, and 10,000 soldiers of the Caro Empire assembled at the fastest speed.
In the waters of the Kingdom's port, ten Carlo Empire battleships have long been ready.
A warship can hold a thousand soldiers.
Ten warships went out to sea with 10,000 soldiers and headed towards the Balque Kingdom.
